Few organisations have the breadth, scope and history of involvement in Irish life and culture of the St Vincent de Paul. Run primarily by volunteers and with a small national staff, the SVdP has remained highly regarded and widely admired by the public, even as other institutions have fallen by the wayside.

In this new book, various contributors bring their experiences within the society to life, exploring the society up and down the country and across all kinds of activities. A fascinating glimpse of an organisation that has been an integral part of Irish life for nearly two centuries.
